I think that the cable your talking about is the one that doesn't let you take the car out of park unless the key is on. That wouldn't make your engine run bad though. What year is your column from? I don't know if LG4's have an electric choke but maybe you should test to see if it's working. If your car is using alot of gas then your choke is probably not opening. My car ran like yours once after I was tweekin it and I noticed my air/fuel ratio was real rich. Turns out I forgot to reconnect the choke.

 

column is out of an 85 the cable goes to the cruze control i think

 

should have just got the tilt column... you probly only needed the caseing


i fixed my column when they busted it in a attempt to steal my car (VATS saved it from being stolen)

you take off the wheel, take off the plate and basicly just take the upper column apart, then put the new casing on and put it back together.

yours looked like this when busted right?

 

mine was almost like that but a little worse i replaced it with a non cruze column w/tilt.i dunno the car is running like ****.looks like project 350 has to hustle
